While the bombing in Boston is tragic the south side of Chicago has been
witness to a never ending level of terror every night for years. Mostly
gang related, there is a pox of violence on this town and no one seems
to be in much of a hurry to cure it.

This cartoon is a plea, a prayer and a scream. I drew it as a father, a
citizen of Chicago and a human being. The insanity of the gang violence
that grips our city has taken so much from us and now we can count a
little child among its victims. Perhaps this will be the call to action
by all concerned. This madness must end.

About this blog

A lot of dreams don’t come true in this world. Mine did, I am now the editorial cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune. The Tribune has a long and storied history of editorial cartooning. From John T. McCutcheon to Orr to Parrish right on through to Dick Locher and Jeff MacNelly. There is no other place that any cartoonist would rather draw for than right here. This blog writes a new page in that history. Here you will see my editorial cartoons as well as my nationally syndicated comic strip, Prickly City. I invite you to comment. I look forward to our conversation.
